I posted this in the July ddc and I got a lot of response... so let's try it here. What makes you totally gag now that you're pregnant that never used to bother you before? For me it's dirty dishes in the sick... the smell sends me running, the smell of the dishwasher cleaning (old warm soapy smell), and the WORST one... my DH's shampoo that smells like strawberries and creme and his bodywash.. I'm cringing just thinking about it!!!! EWWW

For me, it's mostly anything with a strong odor. As far as eating, chicken, pizza, mexican food (which I used to eat like three or four times a week), and tuna fish salad, and coffee :o - this is the true shocker for me, I used to be a four cup a day person! This hormone thing is out of control.

for me the only thing that makes my stomach turn is meat. its funny though because if it doesnt look or smell like meat i am fine (for example, i am fine with mongolian beef and the meat they put in potstickers and what not.) geese talking about pot stickers is making me hungry. i wish i could have some right now :P

I also want to add to my list: Some people I work with. I work in a cubicle-type place, and the people on the team that sits right beside my team actually makes me sick!! There's this stupid fat cow that sits litterally on the other side of the cubicle next to me who always chews loudly when she eating her lunch, and makes phone calls while eating and talks with her mouth full! Then, she's alway hacking and coughing away, and weezing, which the sound of it turns my tummy. To add, she snorts when she laughs, and it's like this really phlegmy sort of snort, so that also makes me want to barf! And she smokes, and I always smell her stinky "old smoke" smell! Then another guy on her team is constantly burping! EW! I'm a master burper, I can beat any man in a burping contest! But I know when it's appropriate and when it's not. And while I'm sitting at my desk, eating lunch, snacking on something, or ever just working, it's not a pleasant thing to hear! His burps are those gross gurgly ones, kinda bubbly and wet and seem to come deep within!....GAG!!!! They should call their team "TEAM GROSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!" or "TEAM MAKES-BRIGITTE-WANNA-BARF!"

GOOO! And I'm at work right now, and I'm listening to the fat one chewing while on the phone again!!!! My god, will the disgusting torture never end!!

OMG Brigitte!!! At work my boss will come sit with us on the field during our lunch break, whiles he's eating he's dripping food down his chin, his arm pits are sweaty... as well as his forehead, his hands are dirty and he's sitting there sniffling. IT'S SO NASTY. I cant even eat around him!!!!! Nice to know I'm not alone!! :wacko:
